*sigh* I've said this many times and I'll say it again...
Why did you put another forum here when you already put one up in the General section?
Because a lot of people never look over here Palm.
All routers work basically the same way. It has to know where to send the packets.
The port forwarding page says:
"send all incoming requests from port 28000 to 192.168.1.2"
NOTE: each sever you run after that will be 28001, etc, and your local ip may vary, also UDP is used as a protocol not just TCP

When you open ports in your router's firewall to host a dedicated server for TT be aware that it's only for one computer.
In order to host dedicated servers from more than one computer at a time you have to open ports specific to each computer.
Example:
open ports 28000-28002 for computer A and
open ports 28003-28005 for computer B
TT will try to use whatever port is specified in the resources/game/server/prefs.cs and/or resources/game/client/prefs.cs file. If you want to host from computer B you will have to specify 28003, 28004, or 28005.
[edit] These instructions are for the D-Link router brand. Your experience may vary.
